Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Holmes Antiques

Exceptional and rare 18th Century Hepplewhite Settee in good original condition. A well drawn elegant piece of Furniture made at the pinnacle of the English Furniture making tradition. The three hart shaped splats are finely carved and to the centre are the most wonderfully executed Prince of Wales feathers. In good solid condition throughout, retaining all original oak and beach rails with added strengthening pieces for upholstery.
 
It is interesting to note that the famous London dealer Norman Adams had a pair of Chairs that were almost certainly from the same workshop, also interesting is the connection with Gillows of Lancaster.
 
Please see the images taken from his wonderful Book on English Furniture.
